Our Services
AtomicWorkers® provides advisory and claims management services for current and former nuclear workers, or surviving family members, under the Federal Energy Employee Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act (EEOICPA) of 2000, Public Law 106-398. Advisory services include publication of relevant materials of common interest via web site, public speaking engagements, and technical and EEOICPA interpretative support for complementary organizations also engaged in EEOICPA. Claims Management services includes, but are not limited to, providing individual guidance on eligibility and planning for new claims, review and assessment of previously denied claims, and more broadly, strategic planning for maximizing worker and family benefits throughout the claims process.
In an official capacity, AtomicWorkers acts as the EEOICPA designated “Authorized Representative”, with the legal authority to submit claims, claim evidence, communicate directly with EEOICPA staff on claimant’s behalf, and is required to operate in the claimant’s best interests, free of conflict of interest or commercial relationship, from all 3rd parties, such as home care providers, worker screening programs, volunteer organizations and/or related government agencies. Individuals who are employed by home care providers, worker screening programs, volunteer organizations and/or EEOICPA related government agencies, are prohibited by EEOICPA from acting as an “Authorized Representative” for individual claimants due to the potential for a conflict of interest.
